Man Stabbed In Times Square Subway Station: NYPD

MIDTOWN, NY — A man was stabbed in the chest inside the 42 Street-Times Square subway station on Saturday evening, police said Wednesday.

The 51-year-old victim was waiting for the 1 train inside the station when a six-foot-tall stranger in all black pushed him, pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the chest, officials said.

First responders brought the injured man to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, and the stabber fled to the uptown platform, according to police.

The Daily News reports that the stabbing may not have been totally random.

While the victim reportedly told cops that his attacker was indeed a stranger, the two may have exchanged words at the turnstile after he asked the tall man a question, according to The Daily News.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). All calls are strictly confidential.
